今吾子從我言、且奔哈蘭、見舅氏拉班、

以撒召雅各、為之祝嘏、囑曰、毋娶迦南女為室、乃起往巴坦亞蘭、至爾母父彼土利家、娶舅氏拉班女為室。願全能之上帝、鍚嘏於爾、使爾繁衍、為兆民祖。以亞伯拉罕之嘏錫爾、爰及苗裔、昔上帝以斯土錫亞伯拉罕、而爾旅之、今願與爾為業。以撒遣雅各往巴坦亞蘭、見亞蘭人彼土利子拉班、即以掃雅各之舅氏。○以掃見以撒為雅各祝嘏、遣至巴坦亞蘭、欲在彼娶室、更囑其毋娶迦南女為室、又見雅各循父母命、往巴坦亞蘭、於是以掃知迦南女不悅於父、故適以實馬利家、更娶馬哈喇為室、馬哈喇乃亞伯拉罕孫以實馬利女、尼排約妹。○雅各離別是巴、向哈蘭而行、日入時、至一方、遂留宿焉、取石為枕、在彼偃卧、夢有梯、自地參天、上帝之使者、陟降於上。耶和華據其巔曰、我乃爾祖亞伯拉罕與以撒之上帝耶和華、爾所寢之地、悉以賚爾、爰及苗裔。爾裔繁衍如塵沙、蔓延四方、天下兆民、憑藉爾裔、以徼福祉。我必祐爾、爾所向往、我必庇護、使歸斯土、不汝遐棄、吾所許者、必踐其言。○雅各醒曰、耶和華果在乎此、而我不知。乃悚然曰、此非上帝之殿、天之闕乎、敢弗寅畏。雅各夙興、以所枕石立為柱、沃膏其上。昔斯邑名路斯、雅各易之曰、伯特利。遂許願曰、如上帝眷佑我、庇護我、我所向往、賜以衣食、安然而歸、則耶和華必為我之上帝。且我立柱石將為上帝殿、上帝所錫我者、十輸其一、獻於上帝。

雅各愛拉結曰、我為季女拉結、願役事爾、七年為期。拉班曰、與其妻他人寧妻爾、可偕我居。雅各為拉結役事七年、因愛之甚、視七年如數日。○屆期謂拉班曰、其期已屆、盍妻我、使我成禮。拉班招集鄰里、肆筵設席、既昏、以長女利亞與雅各成伉儷。以婢悉帕與女利亞、供其役事。夙興、乃知為利亞、謂拉班曰、曷待我若是、我非為拉結、以役事爾乎、何欺我為。拉班曰、未嫁長而先嫁季、於斯土有所不宜。當與利亞盈其七日之期、則以拉結予爾嗣後爾必役事我、更歷七年。雅各從其言、與利亞盈其七日之期、後拉班亦以拉結妻之。

如此我居爾家、歷二十年、役事於爾者、為爾二女十四年、為爾牲畜六年、爾乃易我值、至於十次。

爾在上帝耶和華前必告曰、吾祖亞蘭人、遊牧無定、攜人無多、以往埃及於彼昌大、繁衍其族。

曰爾何名。曰、雅各。曰今以後、不祇名雅各、更名以色列、蓋爾得志於上帝前、與人爭無不勝。
